I'm fond of tapa too. hang10tiki you too? Here it comes again. TikiAno you get this too. Beachbumz it all comes down to Pure Brilliance the best clear glaze by Duncan. There other clear glaze makes under-glaze run. Also I did the three layers but with so many areas to do I could have missed some. So this first time in the kiln is a check firing. You made a good guess. We hope to see you and Rob in 2015. VanTiki I think we had the best visit yet. You and your wife are so athletic. I had no idea. We loved the mug and necklaces. One day we will visit. ================================================================ I am so happy that I did complete the last two mugs and they are in the kiln as I type. Here's the final run of photos until they come out of the "Fire, Fire, Fire! Starting on the 2nd to last mug. This one is like the Tiki Farm addition except that I re-did the background and did the special glazing. All Done. Starting the last mug. This is the PNG version. I painted it solid and then wiped it off the raised surfaces. Sound familiar? This turned out to be the most difficult. At my age my hands are not steady. I would paint in the second color and then have to go back and touch up the darker Teal. Back and forth all over the mug. All done. The 5 special mugs are done and here's the tiki mug line up for comparison. Then it occurred to me that all 11 mugs should be in the line. Here we go again. Next I carried them outside to dry longer and then I loaded them into the kiln on the bottom level. Just enough space for the 11 mugs. When I put in the top shelf I had room left so I got out an all blue Bumatay bowl to add color to the fish. I hope this works. I'm using CN light ginger. Into the kiln with some glaze tests and Tiki Hula's special crawl mug with pockets. We are waving bye for now. Cheers, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2014-07-25 13:18 ]
